network adapters that can be installed in IO slots.
The following table lists the supported network adapters and upgrades. Adapters can be installed in either
slot. However, compatible I/O modules must be installed in the corresponding bays of the chassis.

FCoE and iSCSI support: ThinkSystem server adapters do not support Features on Demand, so the
CN4052S and CN4054S 2-port 10Gb basic adapters cannot be upgraded to FCoE support. If you need
FCoE or iSCSI support use the 01CV780 or 01CV790 adapters.
